MANCHESTER, N.H. - Sophomore Ariel Teixeira (Warren, R.I.) of the Southern New Hampshire University women's soccer team was recently honored by both the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and the New England Women's Intercollegiate Soccer Association (NEWISA).  She was a Second Team NSCAA All-Region selection, and also a First Team NEWISA All-New England pick.

In 2009, Teixeira, who also garnered Daktronics First Team All-Region honors this season, led the Penmen in scoring with 10 goals and three assists for 23 points, her 10 goals the most by a Penmen player in a single season since Lindsay Parks registered 11 goals in 2003.  She recorded multiple goals on four occasions, and had game-winning goals in a 4-3 overtime win over Lincoln Memorial and a 2-1 win against Bentley.  For her efforts, she was a Northeast-10 First Team All-Conference selection, the second time in her career she collected NE-10 All-Conference accolades.
